Getting into a lower level social science course is like getting into the World Series. Three of the five courses offered this year held sectioning meetings Saturday morning, two on an absolute first-come-first-served basis. The third made exceptions only for sophomores who had expressed interest in the course last spring. An estimated 600 students were turned away from Soc Sci 2, 5, and 8; and because of the length of the sectioning lines, striking out on one left the undergraduate no chance for the other...
...When Archie, T.R.'s third son, was sick abed with the measles, younger Brother Quentin thought that seeing his pony would hasten Archie's recovery. The pony, Algonquin by name, was smuggled up to Archie's room by elevator. Algonquin behaved commendably; Archie got better...
Upset Calculations. Few G.O.P. politicians realized, until after he was nominated, how widespread was the U.S. awareness and approval of Lodge's U.N. performance. In polls showing presidential preferences among Republican voters during 1959 and the early months of 1960, Lodge consistently ran third, after Nixon and Rockefeller, though he had done nothing at all to stir up political interest in himself. One G.O.P. politician who did grasp the meaning of those polls was Richard Nixon who long before the conventions decided to make his stand on foreign policy. That made Lodge an obvious vice-presidential prospect, and Lodge...
...miracle of the transistor is that it can do virtually everything the vacuum tubes-for nearly 40 years the mainstay of the communications industry-could do, and do it better. It is more reliable, sturdier, and only a fraction of the tube's size. Today a full third of Bell Labs' scientists are working on the transistor and the whole new family of "solid state" electronic devices it has spawned. The transistor not only made space exploration possible; it also ushered in the new technique of miniaturization, thus made hundreds of new products possible...
...asphalt and tinted polypropylene. With the routes of a cloverleaf indicated by color and with highway signs to match, U.S. motorists would lave less trouble finding their way through superhighway mazes. Hercules Powder Co., pioneer producer of polypropylene, has developed a new glass-and-plastic material for a third-stage shell for the Minuteman missile. It is trans lucent, as light as magnesium and stronger than steel...
